I was talking to my buddy Marc Buehler about some of the VW Clubs we were involved in years ago.  He dug up some information on the Volkschargers.  I joined in 1969, but they were going strong way before my time.  The attached letter he wrote to a local TV station gives you some idea as to how many VW Clubs there actually were back then, and the size of some.

D.B.O. Not a club; a state of mind.

Very nice. The Rushin' Roulette sounds like a great idea.

Ed, Great history there in that document.  Look forward to seeing you this weekend at the Bug-In.
